Is it a bad idea to block proxies/vpns for interacting with my app?

I run a small website and Im considering blocking proxies and vpns with ipquery to cut back on spam. I keep having bots autofill the contact us even though im using recaptcha. Does anyone have any solutions or recommendations for dealing with platform spam? Im worried that if I block proxies/vpns Ill also stop real users. (Tech stack php, wordpress, etc)
